Region/Country: South Africa

Grape Variety: Syrah 91%, Mourvèdre 8%, Viognier 1% 

Nose: Brooding nose is intense & shows an abundance of dark fruits. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, baking spices & heady whiffs of violets create complexity.

Palate: Dark & dense on appearance. Dark berry fruit, liquorice, notes of sweet tobacco & allspice follow through onto a vibrant mid-palate with bright, svelte tannins & a silky texture. Exceptional balance with fresh, integrated acidity. Dark plums, black olives & hints of tar & cigar box linger on an earthy finish.
